Today, Ruse will host the first Garash cake festival in Bulgaria as throughout the day in the center of the city, confectioners from different regions of the country will demonstrate their creations. 

At the end of the 19th century, the recipe for the famous sweet delicacy, which bears the name of its creator Kosta Garash, was born in the grand hotel "Islyakh Khane" in Ruse. For the basis of the cake, the master from the Viennese confectionery school used the Sacher cake, already known throughout Europe, but changed the recipe - without flour, without oil, but with a lot of butter, with walnuts, cocoa and a lot of chocolate. 
"Tourists in Ruse always ask for something specific that they can try here, and I think that the Garash cake is very suitable to tempt them," said Ruse Deputy Mayor Zlatomyra Stefanova.
